HYDRA VEIN - Rather Death than False of Faith / The Reptiliad Dark Symphonies :: CD :: 12€ IMPORTANT NOTICE: this item cannot be included in any of our deals/promotions (5x4, 10x8, 15x12, etc...). For the first time ever as a stand alone CD, here comes an official reissue of this true Thrash Metal classic by U.K.´s Hydra Vein, originally released in 1988, featuring "The Reptilliad" demo (1987) as bonus. Hydra Vein was formed in the spring of 1987 featuring ex-Deathwish members, brothers Damon and Nathan Maddison. Being hailed as the U.K.´s answer to Slayer and receiving universally positive reviews in the Metal press, Hydra Vein yet did not gain the exposure that they deserved. This amazing piece of history features the original cover artwork, classic band photos and lyrics, everything designed after the original 1988 vinyl release, taking elements from the original layout with attention to detail, even down to the logo and typeface for a touch of nostalgia. In an effort to preserve the integrity of the original recording, the sound has been meticulously and subtly mastered from the original analog sources to retain the dynamics and atmosphere of the original recording. << BACK
